The phrase signifies the availability of spaces within recreational areas in a specific geographic location for temporary usage, typically for events or activities. These agreements often involve payment for access to amenities such as picnic shelters, athletic fields, or community centers situated within the designated parkland. An example would be securing a pavilion for a family reunion within the city’s premier green space.
These arrangements provide valuable resources to the community, enabling organized gatherings and promoting outdoor recreation. Revenue generated through these agreements can contribute to the upkeep and improvement of public spaces. Historically, access to park facilities was often informal; formalized arrangements for temporary use represent a structured approach to managing public resources and ensuring equitable access.
